Summary:
"The modern world can be a complicated, frenzied and noisy place, filled with too many options, products and ideas. That explains why what many of us long for is simplicity: a life that can be more pared down, peaceful and focused on the essentials. But finding simplicity is not always easy; it isn't just a case of emptying out our closets or trimming back commitments in our diaries. True simplicity requires that we understand the roots of our distractions - and develop a canny respect for the stubborn reasons why things can grow complex and overwhelming. This book is a guide to the simpler lives we crave and deserve. It takes a psychological approach, considering how we might achieve simplicity across a range of areas: our relationships, social lives, work routines and our approaches to possessions and media. e have for too long been drowning in excess and clutter from a confusion about our aspirations: the book helps us tune out the static and focus on what properly matters to us." --Back cover.
